Rosella Jam Recipe + How to Harvest

Rosella Jam Recipe

Ingredients
Rosella fruits (approx. about 60 will give you two medium jam jars)
Sugar
Lemon

Method
1. Harvest desired amount of rosellas and rinse in bucket.
2. Separate red calyx from seed pods and thoroughly rinse each separately.
3. Place seed pods in a medium saucepan, cover with water (1 inch above seed pods), bring to boil and cook for 30 mins.
4. Strain and reserve juice from seed pods. The seed pods can now be put into the compost.
5. Place rosella calyx into the saucepan and add reserved juice (this has the pectin in it).
6. Boil for 20 mins or until pulp is formed.
7. Measure the volume of cooked pulp, return to pan and add juice of one lemon or more to taste.
8. Add equal amount of white sugar to pulp (3 cups pulp = 3 cups sugar).
9. Bring to boil and cook until jam is thick.
10. Pour into sterilised jars.

Hey there!

Welcome to my channel, The Nature Patch where I like to share all things gardening, cooking and environmental science in my Australian bushland backyard.

My name is Robyn, an environmental scientist working towards completing a PhD in understanding how people's wellbeing and their connection to nature is impacted by land use change. I've always loved gardening and nature and lately have been interested in growing my own organic food!

On this channel you'll find videos relating to my harvests, 'how to' videos, composting, soil health, ecosystem services, and seed saving.

I try to upload twice a week and I hope you enjoy!!
